Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Cause For 2 Contradictory Diagnosis In Echo Test?
Had done a echo as part of routine annual health check-up, in the echo report concentric LVH was mentioned and rest everything was normal. 2 days later, got the echo redone in another diagnostic centre under a reputed cardiologist and the results were normal i.e., no LVH. The cardiologist mentioned, that the first diagnosis could be due to oversight or incorrect and not to worry. Am having HP BP from last 10 yrs but well controlled (110/70). Confused on 2 contradictory diagnosis.

Hi. Welcome to hcm. Echo report depends on skill of doctor who is doing it. Lvh can also be diagnosed by ecg. If your bp is normal from very long time, then there is nothing to worry. If you have another query then ask. Take care.
